DETROIT (WWJ) There have been a number of flight delays and cancellations being reported at Metro Airport Saturday afternoon because of the heavy snow fall that has hit the area.

Airport spokesman Mike Conway says his crews were not surprised by the fast-moving snowstorm.

“We had our equipment ready and crews out there addressing the snow….. we’ve been closing one parallel runway at a time for treatment. So we are running pretty normal snow removal operations,” Conway said.

Conway says earlier Saturday pilots were complaining of very low visibility because of the snow and ice.
